For years I have been part of a study group that explores ancients texts. It serves as a religious exercise, a connection to our history, and for me it serves as an exercise in self-exploration. At times we have spent an hour focused on the meaning of one word and how it might apply to modern life.      Recently we studied a passage focused on bles

Fishing the Dog Days
Posted By : Joshua Zinder

In the dog days of summer, I went to Montana to fish in the Madison, Yellowstone, and Beaverhead rivers. On the third day of amazing fishing my guide helped me hit the Montana Grand Slam and caught all 4 species in the Yellowstone watershed Whitefish, Rainbow trout, my first ever Cutthroat trout, and my personal best Brown trout.  All in the longes

Music for this holiday season
Posted By : Corey Bearak

It’s that time again; people plan holiday parties. Gotham’s holiday party takes place virtually on Tuesday and a trio of in-person gatherings take place Thursday in Manhattan, and the following week on Tuesday on Long Island and Thursday in Westchester. It also means holiday music and my “open-source” list of holiday tunes grew this year to 116 son

Happy Holidays in song

After Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it often signals the start of the holiday sounds on the radio; some years the tunes populate radio and various "elevator juke boxes" before Thanksgiving.  With Chanukah starting this eve it makes sense to release the updated Happy Holidays In Song today.  Some eight years ago, I started this open source holiday

When I think about the approach of Thanksgiving, I think about more than giving thanks for my family, friends, colleagues and my life. More and more the focus involves giving. I only hope I do enough. The Tuesday that follows Thanksgiving – Giving Tuesday – represents a culmination of giving efforts through Gotham. As Friday’s blogger repeatedly re

Interesting how time intersects.  So in last week’s blog, I released an updated Happy Holidays in song playist, which included a few extra Chanukah songs.  Some people provided links to some songs you’ll find next year (though I did informally add them pending placement within the flow of the existing list.).  In the week that followed last year’s

Images for a Sunday afternoon
Posted By : Corey Bearak

We visited with my talented sister-in law yesterday at The FAD Market at The Invisible Dog Factory at 51 Bergen Street a few blocks south of Atlantic Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn. If you approach summer as Fred and Joanne Klein do, it makes sense to visit this location -- open from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in particular to see "Images by Adrianne.

I no longer devote much time to any music station. I long for the days of WNEW-FM which enjoys a Facebook page. No matter what music station you would dial up on terrestrial radio, the weeks leading up to the holidays means music that reflects that spirit and themes. A few years back Gotham co-founder Fred Klein, knowing my love of music, encour
